A resolution was unanimously passed in
the convention endorsing Senator Sher-

OF the United States. The Senator, who
WAS permanent chairman OF the conyen..
ton, said that the resolution had no bind.

troll delegates next year. II was simply
an expression OF the appreciation aud good
will OF the people Of the state for which
be was very grateful.
The platform as a whole has ring to it
and we copy few specimen planks which
have an interest more than local.
ave are 10 favor Of protective tariff,
10 secure to American citizens the priv.
iege OF supplying every article which can
DO produced as well la the United States
as In other countries and sufficiently to
supply American wants. Such 3 tariff
gives demand for aud employment to
the labor Of American citizens. and there
by aids in securing Just compensation for
labor. We denonnce the Ohio Democratic
platform Of tariff for revenue only, and
which demands an indiscriminste reduc-
ton on all duties on imported articles. the
effect OF which would be to encourage i'm
portstion, thus giving American patronage
to foreign producers and foreign labor,
rather than our own.
While we adhere 10 the public policy
under which our country has received
from Europe great bodies OF honest and
Industrious citizens, who,have added to
the wealth, progress and power Of our
country, and while we welcome TO our
shores the we'll disposed and industrious
emigrant. who contributes by bis energy
aud intelligence to the cause OF free gov
ernment, We view with alarm unrestricted
emigration from foreign lands as danger
Gus to the peace and good order OF the
country aud the integrity and character OF
its citizenship. We urge congress TO pass
such laws and establish such regulations
as shall protect us from the inroad OF the |
anarchist, the communist, the polygamist, |
the fugitive from justice. the insane, the |
dependent paupers, the vicious and crmi- |
nal classes, contract labor in every form |
under any name or gnise and all others
who seek our shores not to become part
OF our civilization aud citizenship, who
acknowledge no allegiance to our laws, no
sympathy with our aims aud institutions.
but who come among us TO make war upon
society. to diminish the dignity and re-
wards of American workmen aud degrade
our labor to their level Against all these
